This in effect controls the type of clients you wish to allow access to the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition. Three types of services are available: Standard File Protocols, Streaming Services, and Discovery Services. These different services are explained in the following sections. Standard File Protocols The standard file protocols are common file-sharing services that allow your workstation clients to transfer files to and from the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition using built-in file manager-overnetwork file protocols supported by the client operating system. The available services are: • CIFS (Common Internet File Service). Sometimes referred to as SMB. This protocol is used mainly by Microsoft Windows clients, and sometimes by Mac OS X clients. Under Windows, when you click on My Network Places Network Neighborhood, you are going across CIFS. This service is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. • NFS (Network File Service).
